SYNOPSIS:

Ancient superstition meets a young woman’s fight for independence and love among the mountain-dwelling Jewish tribes of Morocco. Based on a true story from the 1940s, an unmarried Jewish girl living in the Atlas Mountains secretly gives birth and hides her baby. She is then forced to undergo “The Milk Trial” in the village square where her breasts are “tested” to determine if she is producing milk to nurse a baby. She ultimately ends up in a “House of Pleasure” in Casablanca. This is
a sexy and dark tale about the clash of ancient customs with a rapidly modernizing world.
